thoma16 Posted April 3, 2010 I went from a 01 yz250f to an 08 rmz450 last summer. I absolutely love the bike, the throttle response is amazing and has a ton of power! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

souphmars Posted April 4, 2010 You might want to get some help to pick it up. They are pretty heavy.👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zig06 Posted April 4, 2010 This is a very good bike and at 5k that's a steal! Get an aluminum radiator T fitting and remap the EFI, and let the good times roll!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thoma16 Posted April 4, 2010 Yes it was a big difference! What an upgrade worth every penny. Everyone thats ridden my bike has said that its power is amazing and its super easy to ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theroman22 Posted April 5, 2010 does it rev out as fast as everyone says? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmzrider151 Posted April 5, 2010 does it rev out as fast as everyone says? It depends how it ride. If you ride slow, it won't if you ride fast, it will rev out a little faster than any other bike. A cheap and easy fix would change the gearing, or add cams or a pipe. But I'll be honest here, it doesn't rev out as fast as you think, and the low to midrange "bark" is better than alot of the other bikes. I don't have a huge issue with it. I just learn to shortshift and it works awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thoma16 Posted April 7, 2010 Agreed...It is faster when you short shift, no reason to be in the high rpms when all the power is down fairly low. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
